"When the sky burns, it pays to have allies in the shadows."

The Arakkoa Outcasts are actually the faction we dealt with in Outland's Terokkar Forest, and a bit in Blade's Edge Mountains and Hellfire Peninsula. They follow the ancient god-king Terokk and Anzu the raven, and use shadow magic. Yes, they are the very same faction of arakkoa we once fought; or rather, will fight in the future. Only now instead of killing them we're on their side against the Adherents, the flying arakkoa who use fire and wind magic and make these guys look like chumps.

In WoD we learn that they are the exiles and heretics of arakkoa society, broken and cursed, exiled from the spires by the sun-worshiping flying arakkoa for any multitude of reasons, ranging from using dark magic to ditching guard duty to go to a festival. The Outcasts are constantly hunted by the Adherents and live in hiding. Rather ironic that in the end they would survive Draenor becoming Outland and the Adherents would not.

Don't mix up the Outcasts with the Sethekk. While both are cursed, the Sethekk follow the dead primal god Sethe and their leader Ikiss thinks he is Terokk's reincarnation.

Faction quartermaster can be found from your faction's base in Ashran:- Shadow-Sage Brakoss in Stormshield Town Hall for the Alliance players- Ravenspeaker Skeega in Warspear Hold for the Horde players

(I realise this is for the Arakkoa Outcast faction - but thought I'd add it anyway).

At the entrance to Spires of Arak, there are 3 Arakkoa Outcasts discussing what to do, (conversation below)It was only after I read it through that I realised what it was.

This is Blizzard's homage to Shakepear's 3 witches of Macbeth, (as in 'when shall we 3 meet again...etc").

Arakkoa Outcast says : I heard Zonka and her followers barely made it into Talador before orcs got themArakkoa Outcast says : Perhaps we should have thrown our lot in with Ikiss..Arakkoa Outcast says : Nonsense. I'd sooner die than bend knee to that lunaticArakkoa Outcast says : What then ? Join Iskar's fool crusade and stand up to the Adherents ?Arakkoa Outcast says : We'd only get in his way.Arakkoa Outcast says : For now we disappear. Disappear and survive.

Lost Veil Anzu seems to be the best place for farming rep. The small octopus guys give 5 rep and they have low HP and come in great numbers. I don't think i'll go for exalted if 5 rep/mob is the way to grind it...

I think the Arakkoa might be inspired by the Chozo from Metroid

Suggest you assign a follower to be your bodyguard at the barracks if you are able to, you'll max the bodyguard's rep while farming this reputation and unlock the level 3 bodyguard perk.

Comment by seasaint7

For the rep grind, I recommend Battle Standard of Coordination, finding a group in group finder, and bringing your bodyguard. If you have more than 5 people in your group, your rep points start going down. If you have a level 2 barracks, you can bring a bodyguard and work on Wingman at the same time. Don't let your follower die - it's a full hour debuff to get him back again. The groups I've been in all go to the river east of Sethekk Hollow where you see the mushrooms on the map. I fly to Akeeta's Hovel from my garrison and run down the river on my water strider.

If you are going for a lvl 3 Mage Tower, might as well do the Highmaul Skullcrushers east of Sethekk Hollow.

They drop the Ogre Waystone's that you'll need 500 of.

Freaking love the first quest for this faction, helping a innocent, scared, female draenei who is not a draenei but an arakkoa in disguise, with a female voice and name and everything, blizz I love you, and Iskar, is my most-respected leader in WoW, the only one who manages to fool me so badly!

Is it too much to ask for in a location of the vendor? OK I get it. I like lore as much as anyone else... But hell.... lets provide some helpful information for once.

If you are going to do this grind, Don't worry it's not nearly as bad as the comments here make it seem. It took me under 6 hours to grind from the 22k reputation i needed to hit exalted. The mob density is high and is quite fun to run around bladestorming everything on a warrior. I grinded at lost veil anzu which is also going to net you a botani invasion.

Comment by Voxxel

Note to remember: Relic of Rukhmar is Account-bound, you can collect them from all of your toons to get a really huge rep boost!

Comment by brownpaw

The GrindA great place to do this is Lost Veil Anzu -- to the east of Sethekk Hollow on the map -- in the Spires of Arak zone. Hit the ogres, then hit the goblins to their north, then continue north through a short canyon a little ways to the cave (NOT the cave near the ogres; go further north of the goblins). If you follow the cave around killing mobs, it's just a loop. Then head back down south through the same goblins (which should have respawned by now), to the ogres, and then back north. Rinse and repeat. The spawn times on the mobs are really quite quick.

You can potentially get this done much faster if you use the group finder to find a group to do this with. Rep decreases in parties over 5, though, so keep that in mind. After completing all quests in the zone, to get to exalted took me about 4-5 hours using groups. I did not use any reputation buffs.

!Attention!Don't stop after just barely getting into exalted. You need to (or at least I had to) hit 300/1000 exalted to get the auto-quest Call of the Talon King, which you turn in to get the achievement Mantle of the Talon King (assuming you have completed all the zone quests), which includes a title (Talon King/Talon Queen). The follower is not automatically included in this; for that, a new quest opens up from one of the birds, Talon Guard Kurekk, right beside Terokk. Don't miss it!

Garrison BodyguardsIt has been pointed out that rep grinds like this are also perfect for also grinding rep on garrison bodyguards (assigned through the barracks if you have one). On the Arakkoa Outcast grind, I also got my bodyguard rep from zero to just into level 2 of 3.

I just wish they'd stop asking me "What are we without this guy?"

Comment by crackface

they remind me of the skeksis from the dark crystal.

Comment by TurboDew

A good way to get rep is the Solar Magnifier. He is at 52.0, 7.4 in Skettis, Spires of Arak. He is a little tougher but definitely solo-able and worth 50 rep. He also drops like 5-10 seconds after you defeat him.

The best place to farm for rep is probably around an island at 73.7,40.6, there are many goblins fighting octopuses, and you can just aoe them for reps/trashs/other items. You can also jump to other realms by using group finder.

If you need info on how to get to exalted with the arakkoa outcasts, i've made a video explaining the 3 main ways of getting reputation, as well as collecting information about achievements, titles, followers and items obtainable after hitting exalted - check it out here:

After you complete the storyline, you will go to Veil Terokk in Spires of Arak to do the final quest Call of the Talon King and gain the title Talon King or Talon Queen. Then speak to Talon Guard Kurekk standing nearby, and gain him as a follower. Note: If the final quest Call of the Talon King does not pop automatically, you will need to leave Spires of Arak and come back for the quest to show up.

Comment by SpakyTwo

You can do the Scouting Missives (Lost Veil Anzu and Skettis) while grinding this rep, at least get something more then just rep, and treat it like a daily as suggested above.

Some macro's that will print which quests you haven't completed yet:

In Talador:/run for k,v in pairs({33581,33582,33580,33645,33579}) do if not IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) then print(v) end end

In Spires of Arak:/run for k,v in pairs({34756,34883,35671,35245,36059,34657,35636,34653,36951,34886,34942,35000,34830,34882,35009,35634,34921,34939,34805,36425,35001,35260,34999,34656,35273,34838,34828,34827}) do if not IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) then print(v) end end

/run for k,v in pairs({35258,35013,34885,34829,36085,34658,35257,34938,35007,35733,35003,35004,35012,35261,35259,35002,35668,34998,35895,35896,34923,34659,34924,35011,35010,36790,34884,35897}) do if not IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) then print(v) end end

/run for k,v in pairs({34655,35734,34991,36316,35704,34922, 35649,36792,36660,36590}) do if not IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) then print(v) end end

Note that the last 4 are the bonus objectives in Spires of Arak.

I'm going for Trade Agreement: Arakkoa Outcasts on all my alts, so I make sure I've done all of the above quests first prior to start using Relic of Rukhmar, or performing any kind of grinding. They're good for 17030 rep without any modifiers, which will bring you to 5030 honored.

Comment by Elfyra

Seems this reput is quite impossible to grind now at 120, with 1 reput/mob... I loggued a ticket but don't know if they will "fix" it.

Comment by Apoletta

BFA May 2019. Got exalted today after a 3 hr grind from 6000 into revered to exalted. Lost Veil Anzu is the best spot by far. There’s a little island in the center of the ogres you can set your Battle Standard of Coordination for a 15% rep increase giving 7 rep each ogre and octopus you kill. Don’t bother leaving the area as respawn is steady and the goblins area seems to kill half the octopus and your standard will de spawn. As far as grinds go this was pretty quick...I have my Insane title after all.
